  This bundle contains three titles.  
  - General Relativity  
  - Special Relativity  
  - Relativity and Cosmology  
  The vastness of the universe and the mysteries of space and time have fascinated humanity for centuries. The theories of relativity, both special and general, have revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos, offering insights into the nature of gravity, space-time curvature, and the behavior of objects at speeds near that of light.  
  Together with cosmology, the study of the universe’s origins, structure, and eventual fate, these fields provide a unified framework for understanding the physical laws that govern everything from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies. This collection delves into the principles that shape our universe, uncovering the deep connections between relativity and cosmology.

  With Mountain Madness, Clinton Crockett Peters chronicles his travels and personal transformation from a West Texas evangelical to mountain guide-addict to humbled humanist after a near-fatal injury in Japan's Chichibu Mountains. From 2007 to 2010, Peters lived in Kosuge Village (population nine hundred), nestled in central Japan's peaks, where he was the only foreigner in the rugged town. Using these three years as a frame, this essay collection profiles who he was before Japan, why he became obsessed with mountains, and his fallout from mountain obsession, including an essay on Craig Arnold, the poet who disappeared on a Japanese volcano. Ultimately, the collection asks, how can landscape create and end identities?

  The Sacred Disease is a text written by Hippocrates that explores the topic of epilepsy. In this text, Hippocrates attempts to dispel the belief that epilepsy is a sacred disease caused by supernatural forces. Instead, he argues that epilepsy is a natural disease that should be treated like any other illness. This text is significant because it represents one of the earliest attempts to provide a rational explanation for a medical condition. Read in English, unabridged.

  Principles of Physics -...

  Physics is the branch of science that seeks to understand the fundamental principles governing the universe. It explores the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, and investigates the forces and interactions that shape the behavior of physical systems. Physics provides the foundation for understanding natural phenomena, from the motion of celestial bodies to the behavior of subatomic particles. It is both a theoretical and experimental science, combining mathematical models with empirical observations to describe and predict physical behavior. 
  The origins of physics can be traced back to ancient Greece, where philosophers such as Aristotle and Democritus speculated about the nature of matter and motion. However, modern physics began to take shape during the Scientific Revolution in the 16th and 17th centuries with the work of Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, and Sir Isaac Newton. Galileo introduced the concept of systematic experimentation and mathematical analysis, while Kepler’s laws of planetary motion provided empirical support for the heliocentric model of the solar system. Newton’s formulation of the laws of motion and universal gravitation established a comprehensive framework for understanding the mechanics of bodies in motion. 
  Physics is traditionally divided into classical and modern physics. Classical physics encompasses theories developed before the 20th century, including Newtonian mechanics, thermodynamics, and classical electromagnetism. Newtonian mechanics describes the motion of macroscopic objects using concepts such as force, mass, and acceleration. Thermodynamics studies the relationships between heat, work, and energy, while classical electromagnetism, formulated by James Clerk Maxwell, explains the behavior of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions with charged particles.
